Cool Kiehl’s Fact:
When our chemists developed Kiehl’s iconic Blue Astringent Herbal Lotion in 1964, its popularity took off almost from the start. Over forty years later, we attribute its appeal not only to its superior quality, but also its versatility. Kiehl’s male patrons tell us they use it as a post-shave treatment to soothe skin and prevent razor discomfort. Legend has it that Andy Warhol was a fan!

I have oily skin, I have plenty of blackheads, and the 2-3 big pimples at a time. Big pores, uneven skin tone, bla bla bla- the usual problems of adult acne.

I am torn between this one and the Ultra Facial Oil Free cleanser, do you know how they are different? Both are supposedly for oily blemish prone skin, but I don't quite understand how to choose one. Thanks,

Best Answer:I have used both cleansers. I like them both. I use Ultra Facial Oil Free at night and Blue Herbal Gel in the morning. I had oily skin for as long as I can remember. Acne, blackheads the whole nine yards. Now that I am 51, I don't have as many issues, but I still have some. The hard part is finding something that works and does not dry my skin, because who needs help getting wrinkles. I have found when I use the Blue Gel I have clearer skin. Please note, it is not really a Gel, more a liquid. After ordering it the first time, I ordered again and I will keep ordering it. I like the other cleanser too, although if I just use it, I do notice it takes longer to get rid of the blackheads and pimples. I use both, because at night I want clean skin but a gentle cleanser.

I had acne prone skin for years and ended up being on accutane which cleared the acne. I was still oily and did not want to repeat the accutane treatment. I began using the Kiels Blue Herbal and it has kept all my problems under control. I have tried others things since which was a disaster. I love these products. It feels wonderful on my skin. Get a sample and try it!

I have been using the Blue Herbal Gel Cleanser to control my oily skin that tends to break out with other products. It is very effective but gentle and does not over dry the skin. It also leaves you with a wonderful tingling feeling that lets you know it is working. At 50 years old, this is the only product I will use!

Best Answer:I tried this gel cleanser at my friends house and found out that it truly is for oily skin types. I think it would not be a good choice for eye make up removal. They have really good customer service online and phone that wouldn't mind helping you. Give them a call

Did anyone experience more breakouts before your skin cleared up with this product? I've been using this product for 3 days now and have noticed a few more blemishes than usual.

A shopper on Jul 29, 2013

Best Answer:I didn't. It's helped my breakouts more than any other product. But I suppose it's possible for breakouts to get worse before they get better. My dermatologist says that the zits you see have been forming weeks before they actually appear. So your breakouts MAY have nothing to do with the cleanser. I say stick with it for now and if the problem continues with the breakouts or worsens, switch products and if your skin clears up, you may be right that it is the cleanser. As I said, I've been using this product for 2 years and it's only helped me. Hope this helps.

Best Answer:I can tell you from my experience (having very sensitive and oily skin) that the Blue Herbal gel cleanser is compatible with such seemingly divergent skin issues. I have used this as a daily AM cleanser for close to three years and it has never irritated my rosacea, triggered itching or burning (common reactions for me to skin sensitizers) and keeps my skin in great condition. Hope this helps.

It depends on what you are sensitive to. My skin is oily and sensitive, it responses well to the cleanser. I'm sensitive to quite a lot of cosmetics, sunburn, weather change, dust, ect. My guess is, if you are sensitive to tea tree producs, mint, or things with similar odor, this cleanser may not work for you.

Hi, my skin isn't sensitive so I can't really answer that part but it does good on my oily skin. I find that my skin doesn't get as oily throughout the day and I have less "shine" to my face. My skin has never felt dry after using the cleanser. I hope this helped

Best Answer:I have a mix of combination skin and acne prone skin and this cleanser works really well for that. My main concern for using it is to target the acne, so it can sometime dry out my skin, but I've found that as long as I use a good moisturizer afterwards then it isn't a problem.

I do not know the answer to that question but will say I continue to use this and only this product on m my face. I am acne free for once in my life and I am m 52 years old. My skin is not oily or dry. I love all Kiehls products.

Best Answer:Hello! Some physicians recommend avoiding products with Salicylic Acid during pregnancy, like this product here; however, the levels in our formulas are generally safe for pregnant women. If you are unsure about specific products during this time, we always recommend asking your physician directly.

Our #1 body formula, Creme de Corps has been a rave among pregnant women all over the world. The unique blend of skin-hydrating ingredients are perfect for keeping skin moisturized as well as avoiding stretch marks.

I'm on a verge of trying anything and everything! I want to use this cleanser but I also want to use Mario Badescu Glycolic Grapefruit Toner. Will this be okay (or over-doing/drying) being that it's a salicylic wash and then following up with a glycolic toner? I have combination skin with adult hormonal acne.

Best Answer:Hi Liz. I have been using this product for years and I love it and the Blue Herbal toner as well. In addition, I apply products that contain AHA and I haven't had any problems with excessive drying or irritation. I do, however, use a moisturizer before bed. Hope this helps!

Best Answer:I love this cleanser in the summer, after a day of heat, humidity and grime from the city, this makes my face feel super clean. I have combination skin and use it in the winter, not every day though.

Can this cleanser be used with a clarisonic? For those who do not own a clarisonic, they suggest to not use anything with any exfoliating beads or rough textures due to it damaging your skin I believe.

Best Answer:I don't use the Clarisonic but I was told by a beauty sales lady who tried to sell one to me that any cleanser can be used. So I told her which one I use and she informed me that I can use this wonderful Kiehl's product with it. She said any cleanser can be used. Also, at Sephora, which is my home away from home, another salesperson told me it's perfectly fine to use any cleanser with it. Good luck!

Best Answer:In this product ginger root extract and cinnamon root extract are used. I want to know if it is glycerine based or alcohol based extract. or is it just an essential oil. for the cinnamon extract it says it is an essential oil. please clarify

I have a combination of dry skin on my cheeks and oily skin on my T-Zone. And I have acne on my forehead that never seems to go away. Will this cleanser dry out my not so oily areas?

A shopper on Feb 9, 2013

Best Answer:I usually this product sparingly and think that is a great gel cleaner. I have normal to dry skin and have not noticed a difference. For every day use and acne I use the Kiehls aged to perfection cleanser because it is a gritty white cleanser. I feel like i am really cleanig my pores especially because i work out alot. I noticed a difference right away.

I got pimples and an uneven skin tone. Will this product works well with the corrective collection? Im planning to use this as a cleanser but the toner and the moisturizer will still be the corrective clarifying collection. What regimen do you guys recommend?
